WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is considering whether to issue an executive order to indefinitely imprison a small number of Guantanamo Bay detainees, concerned that Congress might otherwise stymie its plans to quickly close the naval prison in Cuba.
Under the proposal, detainees considered too dangerous to prosecute or release would be kept in confinement in the U.S. or possibly overseas, two administration officials said Friday. Otherwise, the White House could get bogged down for months seeking agreement with Congress on a new legal detention system.
No final decisions have been made about the order, which would be the fourth major mandate by President Barack Obama to deal with how the United States treats and prosecutes terror suspects and foreign fighters.

That's pretty dern dangerous.
One day people will be to dangerous to even acknowledge.
It’s not the A-Q operatives I’m concerned about. It’s the obama administration labeling conservatives just like you and me as “right-wing extremists” (done that)...it is just a short leap (heck, step) to label us or TEA party goes “terrorists” or terrorist-like. This executive order could very easily be used to hold any of us indefinitely without trial.
And what about prosecuting obamma lamma ding dong for fraud in regards to being born in freaken kenya??????
